‘There's a part of my body that's rotten and I want to cut it out’

Love is dangerous. Winner of the 2013 Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting, Yen is an explosive look at childhood without boundaries and the consequences of being forced to grow up on your own.

Hench is sixteen, Bobbie is thirteen. They live alone with their dog, Taliban, playing PlayStation, watching porn; surviving. Sometimes their chaotic mum, Maggie, visits; occasionally collapsing on the front lawn. But when Jenny knocks on the door, the boys discover a world far beyond what they know - full of love, possibility, and danger.

Returning to the stage 10 years after its  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐   sellout international premiere, Yen is written by Anna Jordan and Directed by Bolton's rising star, Connor Goodwin, with a cast featuring former Coronation Street and Emmerdale star, Vicky Binns. Don't miss your chance to catch this era-defining play.
